Description

Organic EL display
Technical field
The present invention relates to organic EL display.
Background technology
The organic EL display of active array type in the past (Organicelectroluminescent display device: organic electroluminescence display device and method of manufacturing same), utilize the image element circuit that comprises the drive TFT (thin film transistor (TFT)) that is connected in power lead to drive and have organic EL (the Organicelectroluminescent device: organic electroluminescent device) that clips the structure of organic luminous layer by positive electrode and negative electrode.The luminous method of organic EL display as this active array type of control has voltage program mode (PM) and electric current program mode (PM).In the voltage program mode (PM), data line is supplied with a kind of data voltage of polarity, this voltage is input to the gate electrode of drive TFT, the magnitude of current of supplying with from power lead by drive TFT control thus.Open in the 2003-5709 communique the Japanese patent gazette spy, putting down in writing an example of the image element circuit of the organic EL display that has adopted this voltage program mode (PM).

[patent documentation 1] TOHKEMY 2003-5709 communique
Summary of the invention
But this data-driven IC that is equipped with in the organic EL display of commercially available active array type is difficult to be applied to the display device of other kinds.This is because the voltage range difference of other the employed data voltage signal of display device or also need in addition makes the circuit of the reversal of poles of data voltage signal, thereby causes the unit price raising of display device itself or the maximization of size the most at last.
In addition, current, the organic EL display of active array type, one is only and dispatches from the factory about several thousand, is the special special purpose driver that does not possess versatility of the organic EL display of active array type, has improved the product lot quantity of organic EL display and has produced unit price.
Data-driven IC as the data-signal of exporting the same levels voltage range has the LCD data-driven IC that (LCD) develops towards liquid crystal indicator (Liquid Crystal display Device).Liquid crystal indicator is the best display device of current practicability development, and the unit price of drive IC itself is also quite cheap.
But, flow through the data-signal of the data line of liquid crystal indicator, directly put on pixel electrode, become the driving voltage of liquid crystal.When only liquid crystal layer being write a kind of signal data of polarity, electric charge will be accumulated on electrode or the liquid crystal layer, consequently make image quality aggravation.For this reason, the data-driven IC of liquid crystal indicator is mostly so that the reversal of poles of signal data is prerequisite makes.Therefore, for the drive IC that liquid crystal indicator is used is applied to organic EL display, must work hard aspect circuit beyond the IC or the control IC.
The objective of the invention is,, seek to reduce manufacturing cost by being used as the data-driven IC of organic EL display towards the data-driven IC that liquid crystal indicator is made.
Above-mentioned problem can solve by following means.At first, as the image element circuit of active matrix organic EL display device, use and adopted the circuit that utilizes voltage to write the voltage program mode (PM) of data.And, this image element circuit is supplied with the data-driven IC of data voltage signal, adopt (1) among the data-driven IC that makes towards liquid crystal indicator can enough control signal control to make the data-driven IC in the moment of reversal of poles of data-signal or (2) can enough control signals be controlled to be the data-driven IC of the reversal of poles that does not make data-signal.Further, to this drive IC, form in the outside of this data-driven IC the circuit that produces these control signals, promptly produce control make data-signal reversal of poles the moment control signal and be entered into data-driven IC control terminal circuit or produce the control signal of the reversal of poles that does not make data-signal and be entered into the circuit of the control terminal of data-driven IC.
As producing the object lesson of circuit of control signal in the moment that control makes the reversal of poles of data-signal, have to produce the circuit of control signal in the moment that control makes the reversal of poles of data-signal for 2 times.In other words, in this circuit, after the control signal of having exported the reversal of poles of data-signal 2 times, this control signal is input to drive IC, exports a kind of data-signal of polarity from drive IC.
In addition, as these installation example, have foregoing circuit is installed in method among the T-CON.The IC that is called as T-CON, be make output with the circuit of the gray shade scale signal of the communication specification performance of RSDS etc., be used to generate the data-signal corresponding with the gray shade scale signal analog power, be used to drive the digital power of digital circuit with the sequential control IC that exports with clock signal synchronously.
In other words, as the means that solve above-mentioned problem, active matrix organic EL display device to the voltage program mode (PM) can be considered following structure: (1) comprise possess control make data-signal reversal of poles the moment terminal data-driven IC and this terminal feeding of this data-driven IC is not made the structure of circuit of control signal of the reversal of poles of above-mentioned data-signal, (2) comprise the pattern that possesses the reversal of poles that to select to make data-signal and do not make the data-driven IC of function of pattern of the reversal of poles of data-signal, structure with the circuit of the signal of the pattern of the reversal of poles of data drive IC input being selected do not make above-mentioned data-signal, or (3) comprise the data-driven IC that can control the moment of the reversal of poles that makes data-signal by input control signal, with the structure of the circuit of the control signal of the data drive IC being supplied with the reversal of poles 2 times make above-mentioned data-signal, or the like.
According to the present invention, will be used as the data-driven IC of organic EL display towards the data-driven IC that liquid crystal is made, therefore can produce organic EL display with low cost.

The 1st substrate SUB1 is to have formed the circuit that is made of LTPS and the glass substrate of light-emitting component.As mentioned above, with COG installation method the horizontal drive circuit HDRV that is made of IC is installed on one side.This horizontal drive circuit HDRV has the function of outputting data signals and the reversal of poles function constantly of this data-signal of control.When the data-driven IC as liquid crystal indicator uses, pulse by 2 cycle sizes of input level synchronizing signal on the vertical synchronizing signal input terminal of data-driven IC, with the frame be unit with the reversal of poles of gray shade scale voltage of signals, and export the data-signal of this polarity of having reversed.
The 2nd substrate SUB2, it is glass substrate with the encapsulating luminescent element of the 1st substrate SUB1, hold display pixel, dummy pixel, test pixel, be configured in the driving circuit and the wave generator circuit made with low temperature polycrystalline silicon of the more lateral of these pixels, with the ditch of sand-blast formation, and pasted drying agent with these pixels and the discontiguous degree of depth of circuit.
The 3rd substrate SUB3, light-emitting component with the 1st substrate SUB1 drives power supply IC (LP-IC), sequential control IC (TCON-IC), these IC that the LTPS circuit of the power supply IC (OP-IC) of usefulness, the 1st substrate is used, to each circuit, horizontal drive circuit HDRV supply power or the clock signal of the 1st substrate SUB1.Particularly, sequential control IC has the pulse of 2 cycle sizes of the horizontal drive circuit HDRV output even number sub-level synchronizing signal Hsync circuit as vertical synchronizing signal Vsync.
The 4th substrate SUB4 is the external interface substrate, is the substrate with the gray shade scale signal of each RGB of communication such as LVDSS specification performance of the 3rd substrate being supplied with each pixel.
In addition, outside terminal PAD1, PAD2 and PAD3 form at the organic EL of the 1st substrate on the IC installed surface of face and the 3rd substrate and form.In addition, outside terminal PAD4 and PAD5 are at the back side of the IC of the 3rd substrate installed surface, be that the back side that outside terminal PAD2 and PAD3 form face forms.
The part of functions of the horizontal drive circuit HDRV that uses in the present embodiment is described with Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.
When the pulse of the pulsewidth of 2 cycle sizes of importing 1 pulse (P1) in per 1 image duration with horizontal-drive signal Hsync when being input to the vertical synchronizing signal Vsync of horizontal drive circuit HDRV, at the data-signal (Fig. 7 (a)) that has reversed with this input time moment corresponding output polarity.
When the pulse of the pulsewidth of 2 cycle sizes of importing 2 pulses (P1, P2) in per 1 image duration with horizontal-drive signal Hsync when being input to the vertical synchronizing signal Vsync of horizontal drive circuit HDRV, the data-signal (Fig. 7 (b)) that output polarity is nonreversible.
In order in organic EL display, to use this horizontal drive circuit HDRV, must drive like that by (b) of Fig. 7.Therefore, in the present embodiment, in sequential control IC (TCON-IC), (b) with image pattern 7 exports like that the circuit of pulse of pulsewidth in 2 cycles with horizontal-drive signal Hsync of even number pulse in per 1 image duration.In other words, setting makes horizontal drive circuit HDRV carry out the circuit of the nonreversible output of polarity in sequential control IC (TCON-IC).
In addition, on the printed base plate SUB3 that sequential control IC (TCON-IC) has been installed, reduction voltage circuit is set, behind polarity output buck, is input to sequential control IC (TCON-IC) data-signal DATA.This is to be about 0.2-0.4V in order to make the RSDS signal or the logical signal that are input to sequential control IC (TCON-IC), because liquid crystal be ± 3.3V or ± the such high voltage of 5V, therefore the output of horizontal drive circuit HDRV can be imported as the data-signal of sequential control IC (TCON-IC).
In addition, when sequential control IC (TCON-IC) according to the value check of the output of the polarity after the step-down polarity from the data-signal of horizontal drive circuit HDRV, when being the data-signal of reversed polarity, export vertical synchronizing signal Vsync once more.Why polarity has reversed is because deviation appears in the output timing of vertical synchronizing signal Vsync, thereby tackles its output timing and revise.In addition, when reversing once more after utilizing this checking function to confirm polarity, vertical synchronizing signal Vsync can be 1 pulse, also can import 2 pulses.In other words, when using this checking function, can after the counter-rotating of having confirmed polarity, import 1 pulse, make it to reverse once more with initial vertical synchronizing signal Vsync itself as 1 pulse.
Like this, by the circuit on sequential control IC (TCON-IC) and the 3rd substrate is carefully designed, can will be applied to organic EL display so that reversal of poles is the horizontal drive circuit HDRV of prerequisite.
In addition, above-mentioned example, it is the solution when making the horizontal drive circuit HDRV in the moment of reversal of poles of output with vertical synchronizing signal Vsync control, if but when the terminal of ON/OFF (make the pattern of reversal of poles and do not make the pattern of reversal of poles) of control reversal of poles was arranged, the pulse signal that this terminal is imported reversal of poles OFF (not making the pattern of reversal of poles) got final product.Generate, output is as the circuit of the pulse signal of this control signal, can be installed in the sequential control IC (TCON-IC) or be arranged on the 3rd substrate SUB that sequential control IC (TCON-IC) has been installed.In addition, when on the 1st substrate SUB1, forming sequential control IC (TCON-IC), also can on the 1st substrate SUB1, form above-mentioned circuit (the generation circuit of reduction voltage circuit and control signal).

In addition, the dummy pixel shown in Figure 21, Figure 22 as comparing with Figure 15, Figure 16, does not then have on the opening this point different at memory bank.
Below, the action of this 1st embodiment is described with Figure 23～Figure 25.Figure 23 is the action timing diagram of pixel.The variation of data select line D-SEL shown in the figure in 1 image duration, light emitting control line ILM, reset line RES, triangle swash SWEEP, (n) expression is the signal of the capable pixel column of n.In addition, as such among the figure, upward be high voltage, be low-voltage down with VH, VL institute mark.
In having selected the pixel that writes, at first make the triangular wave switching TFT 2 of 1 conducting of data latching switching TFT, n type of p type by, the luminescence control switch TFT5 conducting of p type, the reset switch TFT4 conducting of n type respectively by data select line D-SEL, light emitting control line ILM, reset line RES.At this moment, because luminescence control switch TFT5 and reset switch TFT4 conducting are flow through electric current by driving switch TFT3 and the luminescence control switch TFT5 that has connected diode from electric current supplying wire CSL in organic EL OLED.
Then, when make by light emitting control line ILM luminescence control switch TFT5 by the time, reached moment of threshold voltage vt h at the drain electrode end of driving switch TFT3, driving switch TFT3 ends.At this moment, video voltage (grayscale voltage) is input to data line DATA, because this video voltage is connected with the end of memory capacitance CAP by data latching switching TFT 1, the difference of this signal voltage and above-mentioned threshold voltage vt h is input to memory capacitance CAP.Afterwards, reset switch TFT4 is ended, thereby the difference of signal voltage and above-mentioned threshold voltage vt h is stored in the memory capacitance CAP, finish the signal voltage of pixel is write by reset line RES.
